Would I get away with just rolling arches to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance will try get some pics up do u can see.
is it a sport mate?

what offset are the wheels? Should be stamped on the rear.

Did they trim off some of the plastic fender liner? If so, how much? Also, did they apply some sort of water barrier between the newly rolled fender lip and trimmed fender liner?

You can roll the fenders a bit without trimming the fender lining. I just had mine done and there was no trimming at all and now my 255's up front don't rub at all. Depending on how skilled the roller is he can also pull the fender while rolling it to give you a couple of more mil clearance.

wheels are mrr gt1 powder coated semi gloss black. Suspension is vmaxx coilovers. I think im the only one on this forum with these. I got the coilovers for only $200 since they were clearing them out since no one really knew about them, i think list price was like $700. The coilovers have no damper controls for shocks, just height adjustments, I thought what the heck, same price as springs so ill give them a shot. Surprisingly they have ridden very well and feel slightly stiffer than the stock sport suspension I had. The corner orange lens was just smoked out with a piece of vinyl tint that I cut out to shape. Had the euro overlays before but didnt really like them. Looking to add spacers all around soon and adjust the coilovers a little more low. Thanks for looking.

I forgot how much he charges. Just let him know that you saw my post and he'll take care of you. He was real reasonable and took his time.

There was a post here about a year ago that somebody in LA or OC rolls fenders for $40 per corner. I would expect around that much.
